    ESPN is reporting that the Houston Rockets are receiving the disabled player exception for Yao Ming.  You'll remember last season, the Rockets used that same exception granted them for Yao to acquire Trevor Ariza, whom they later dealt for Courtney Lee...
    "The disabled player exception allows the Rockets to acquire a free agent, or trade for a player without having to match salaries, up to the value of the midlevel exception (about $5.765 million)."

    "Houston must use it by January 31st or it will expire."
    As if the MeloDrama wasn't already enough to keep interest high.  Houston was reportedly interested in becoming part of the multi-team deal involving Anthony before todays news.  I wonder what impact this will have on their chances...and more importantly, I wonder how this effects the plans Cho had or has.  Maybe Houston will be that trade partner he has been seeking for the last month or so?  Aaron Brooks anyone?

    Brooks for who? One of our rookies that don't see the court, a mid-level 1st rounder, and cash?
    Yaaah, I don't think so, Houston's trying to catch us if you hadn't noticed.

    I like Jamal Franklin if we get the pick at 10 and if we''re going for a guard. I think Shabazz could be there but after workouts he''ll probably rise. I like that Jamal said his defense is like Tony Allen and his offense is like JR Smith. You hav...

    I''m like 5"9/5"10 and I weigh more than Barton. He definitely needs to bulk up. He is great though and has really improved. I remember when thinking he could be the mascot for Chicago ''cause he used to just ram into guys in transition. He has re...

    if we still get 10th pick. i would look at mccollum, shabazz, pope, dieng, gobert, and franklin. the best choice would be shabazz or franklin. shabazz would be a deadly 3 pointer when team are not covering him. franklin would be nice but i never rese...

    I don''t mind rosters, they are good. Shows that our fans aren''t stupid. But try to have some consistency. You change them too much.

    joint option for year three at like 8 million. Then if he works out you got him for a bargain for 2-3 years and if not it costs only 1.2 million for next year.

  8. Is Paul Allen more Concerned about Profits then Winning a Championship?

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
